Plugins

The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

Releases for Form Example Plugin


Form Input Example Plugin 1.4.1

Ensure that fields are not populated on page load if they already have focus. Closes #2169.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.4

Complete Metadata plugin support (you can now set a custom class name with metadata), switch to using CamelCase options, removal of the previously deprecated hide_label option and a QUnit test suite.

Backwards-compatibility warning: This release has changed several key features meaning that any code using the following will require modification:

  • class_name is now className
  • example_text is now just example
  • The previously deprecated hide_label functionality has been removed altogether

Form Input Example Plugin 1.3.4

Added support for the Metadata plugin thanks to contributions from DeLynn Berry.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.3.3

Improved compatibility with Internet Explorer by working around its caching of form inputs thanks to help from Klaus Hartl.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.3.2

Optimised the number of function calls and improved the index.html.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.3.1

Callbacks are no longer cached and are instead evaluated every time example text is used. This makes it easier to dynamically alter example text after page load.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.3

Added the ability to specify the example text with a callback and fixed a bug with multiple forms.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.2.1

The plugin is now compatible with jQuery 1.1 as well as 1.2.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.2.1

The plugin is now compatible with jQuery 1.1.

Form Input Example Plugin 1.2

Dual-licensed the plugin under the BSD and GPL licenses so that it can be used in conjunction with other GPL-licensed software.

Example 1.1

Fixed the caching bug on Gecko-based browsers such as Firefox and Camino by clearing values on unload.

Example 1.0.1

Minor change to the first public release of the jQuery Example plugin to populate form inputs with example text that disappears on focus.

The only change from 1.0 is the preservation of semi-colons in the compressed version to make it suitable for concatenating with other JavaScript files.
